"I really enjoyed your coaching for several reasons. You know what you're talking about and are eager and willing to give as much help and information to your students as possible to help them with a hosting career. You go out of your way with the "book" of info you create for us, the students. Each session has a different focus but relates to aspects of hosting, which is interesting and good to know. I also like how you are very honest and helpful with correcting or critiquing one's work in order for them to improve. The best part of your class is you are fun, natural and positive. Plus, I like how you totally support your students with equipment and whatever is good for your teaching and the student's learning, which is the best quality to have in a class setting."  -Shannon Moore

 

"First of all, let me tell you how much I enjoyed your on-air hosting class at Actors Connection.  The amount of information, practical advice, on-camera time, and stories from your experiences made for an extremely useful class.

"I recently took your Teleprompter class last Thursday and I loved it! I definitely would like to continue working with you.  I enjoyed the class because you gave us helpful tips on what to do or not to do. I also appreciate you keeping the class size to 10 people which made a huge difference. Because of your class I'm very much interested in Hosting and doing teleprompter work. You made the class fun and enjoyable. The ear prompting technique was awesome and mind boggling!!!! That's a skill I definitely want to learn. All I can say is good job and I hope to see you soon." -With Lacroix

"I wanted to take a moment, first to thank you for fulfilling a need and offering TV Host/Teleprompter classes.  Secondly, I would just like to rave about Patricia Stark for a minute.  Her classes were jam packed with valuable information and inside tips into the industry.  She was truly there to help and support us as students and to encourage us in this industry.  The fact that she was so willing to help, shows you that she is one of the rare teachers whose motives are not for her own gain, but for the gain of her students. Even people who are not specifically interested in these fields can learn something from her excellent business mind.  I know she will be a continued success at your studio." -Kelly Potter McHale, Radio City Rockette

 

I just wanted to thank you for such a great class. And for all the kind words today. I have to say, you’re a GREAT teacher.

So, I am preparing myself for just that. Please send me a copy of the picture. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks again so much. -Billy Zapletal

 

 Thank you for such a great class! It was exactly what I was looking for. I called my husband right after and I was so excited about it, he said, "It sounds like you just saw Tony Robbins!"
